New Webinar: Driving P2P Returns Beyond Implementation

August 1, 2017

When the first post appeared in the Procurement Insights blog in May 2007, it was well before what has now been referred to by Gartner as the “post-ERP Era.” At the time, some of the biggest challenges facing the procurement world evolved around the declining returns on ERP-based procurement solutions and user adoption (or […]

I Have Waited Nearly 10 Years For This To Happen . . . The Santa Clara Story

June 15, 2016

The County of Santa Clara has successfully implemented their eProcurement initiative by transcending the functional silos that have traditionally limited procurement’s effectiveness and influence in the past. In short, and for the first time since I began covering Virginia’s eVA initiative back in 2007, I can say with great confidence that there is now another […]

We interrupt this SciQuest Series . . . by Jon Hansen

August 26, 2015

Analysts, however, didn’t share his unwavering confidence, with Stifel, Nicolaus & Co, Inc’s Tom Roderick asking what assurances Wiehe could offer that implementation issues didn’t contribute to the contract dispute. “How much comfort do you have that we won’t see this sort of situation replicated with other large bodies?” he asked.

February 10, 2015

I just read an interesting post on the Nipendo blog titled “Supplier Bullying: Cutting The Branch You Are Sitting On” by Eran Livneh.

You ever notice that with a satellite dish, there are always sporting events going on somewhere around the world on a 24/7 basis. From football – both the North American and world versions – to cricket, hockey and even outrunning boulders down steep inclines (although I am not sure if the latter counts as being […]

The freedom to collaborate by Jon Hansen

August 14, 2014

I recently came across a very interesting post in the Nipendo P2P Narrative blog titled “What is supplier collaboration“. What made it interesting – at least from my perspective, is that it zeros in on a simple yet powerful truth. You have to remove the barriers to collaboration before you can actually begin to well […]
